VI Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation


1Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation

Introduction

The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) is the apex authority of Government of India at the national level for formulation of housing policy and programme, administering of Plan schemes, collection and dissemination of data on housing, building materials/techniques and for incentivizing adoption of general measures for reduction of building costs. In addition, it is entrustedwithimplementationofthespecificprogrammes of urban poverty alleviation and slum improvement. In the federal structure of the Indian polity, matters pertaining to the housing and urban development have been assigned by the Constitution of India to the State Governments. The Constitution (Seventy-Fourth) Amendment Act, 1992 has further delegated many of these functions to the urban local bodies. Hence, the Government of India plays a coordinating and monitoring role and also supports the States/UTs through Centrally Sponsored schemes and programmes.

Subjects allocated to MoHUPA include formulation of housing policy and programmes, implementation of specific programmes of Urban Employment and Urban Poverty Alleviation and policy, planning and monitoring of matters related to human settlements and urban development including Slum Clearance Schemes and the Jhuggi and Jhopri Removal Schemes in states except NCT of Delhi.

The Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation was bifurcated into two Ministries viz. the Ministry of Urban Development and the Ministry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation vide Presidential Notification No. CD-160/2004 dated 27.5.2004. The Ministry was renamed as Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation vide Cabinet Secretariat Notification No. 1/22/1/2006-Cab.vol-II (I), dated 2.6.2006. However, work relating to Administration, Parliament,OfficialLanguageandFinanceiscommon to both the Ministries.

The Government’s vision and policy towards housing and urban poverty alleviation has evolved in keeping with the imperatives of the challenges ahead. The emphasis of the 12th Plan on inclusive and faster economic growth has led to a greater urgency for municipal reforms and effectiveness of the third tier of governance, greater emphasis on community participation and the implementation of the flagship programme of erstwhile JNNURMwith 40% of its budget devoted to slum redevelopment and rehabilitation.

At the beginning of the 12th Five Year Plan, the housing shortage was estimated to be 18.78 million units. An estimated 96% of this housing shortage pertains to households falling in the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Lower Income Group (LIG) segments.

In order to mitigate the housing shortage along with deficiencies in basic services and in consonance with the changing policy environment, the Ministry had announced the National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy (NUHHP), 2007. This Policy focuses on affordable housing for all with special emphasis on economically weaker sections of the society such as SC, STs, OBCs, Minorities, women-headed households and the differently abled. The Policy seeks public sector partnering with private sector and also cooperative sector, the employees welfare housing sector, the industrial-cum-labour housing sector playing an important role in increasing the affordable housing stock in the country. The role of Central Government is envisaged as an ‘enabler’ and ‘facilitator’ under the aegis of NUHHP. The NUHHP, 2007 is being revisited toreflecttheemergingprioritiesandNUHHP,2017 is being formulated.

The urban sector has witnessed major changes on account of our country’s transition towards market-based economy and the spirit of decentralization which is embodied in the


2 Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation

Constitution (74th Amendment) Act, 1992. In addition, the role of urban sector in economic growth and poverty reduction has undergone a major change. The need for public private partnership is now widely appreciated. In order to cope with massive problems that have emerged as a result of rapid urban growth, it became imperative to draw up a strategy to implement projects in select cities on mission mode.

MoHUPA had drafted the Real Estate (Regulation of Development) Bill, 2013 in consultation with all stakeholders to establish a uniform regulatory environment to enforce disclosure, fair practice and accountability norms in real estate transactions (buying or selling), and to provide an adjudication machinery for speedy dispute redressal. The Union Cabinet approved the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill on 09th December, 2015 and after completion of all formalities, this Ministry moved the requisite Notices for introduction of the Bill in Rajya Sabha. The Bill, as approved by the Cabinet, was considered and passed by Rajya Sabha on 10th March, 2016. Further, the Bill, as passed by Rajya Sabha, was considered and passed by Lok Sabha on 15th March, 2016. The Presidential assent was obtained on 25th March,2016andtheGazetteNotificationofthe Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 for public information was published on 26th March, 2016.

As expression of commitment of Government that by the time the nation completes 75 years of its independence, every family will have a pucca house with access to water connection, toilet facilities and 24x7 electricity supply, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) for ensuring housing for all in urban areas was launched on 25th June 2015. The Mission which is to be implemented during 2015-2022 provides central assistance to all eligible families/beneficiaries across all statutory towns for houses included under the mission. States/UTswillhaveflexibilityto include intheMission, the Planning area as notifiedwith respect to Statutory Town and which

surrounds the concerned municipal area.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, in its meeting held on 29.04.2015 extended JNNURM for two years i.e. upto 31.03.2017 for completion of projects sanctioned till March, 2012. Only spill-over projects under the Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) and Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) components of JNNURM are, therefore, being taken up for completion. The Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) scheme has been subsumed in the New Housing for All (Urban) Mission.

‘National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM)’ was launched in the 12th Five Year Plan w.e.f. 24th September, 2013 replacing the Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY). The scope of the mission has been enhanced to include its implementation in all statutory towns. It has now been renamed as ‘Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihoods Mission’ (DAY-NULM). NULM focuses on organizing urban poor in self-help groups, creating opportunities for skill development leading to market-based employment and helping them to set up self-employment ventures by ensuring easy access to credit. The Mission aims at providing shelter equipped with essential services to the urban homeless in a phased manner. In addition, the Mission would also address livelihood concerns of the urban street vendors. The primary target of NULM is the urban poor, including the urban homeless.

Learning from the experience of implementation of JnNURM and its successor programmes, Government has now accorded thrust to participatory urban planning. The new urban Missions, which have since been launched, are based on transparent objective criteria with regard to selection of cities and allocation of central assistance. Citizen participation, increased delegation of powers, higher devolution of resources, project prioritization and area based approach comprise some key aspects of improving urban governance to enable realization of project outcome.

POLICIESNATIONAL URBAN HOUSING & HABITAT POLICY (NUHHP) 2017

The National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy (NUHHP): 2007 was formulated by Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation in 2007 in consultation with all stakeholders, with an objective of achieving ‘Affordable Housing for All’ and the policy is due for revision after 10 years In the backdrop of the recent transformative changes in the urban development sector, especially housing and real estate sector, lessons learnt from implementation of the NUHHP (2007), new urban missions launched by the government, global agenda through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the new Urban Agenda out of Habitat III process, the time is opportune to review/revise the existing NUHHP, 2007. In order to develop a sustainable and implementable Housing and Habitat Policy, Ministry of HUPA has set the process of developing the National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy (NUHHP): 2017 toreflectthechangesintherecentpastandtaking forward the agenda of Government of India on “Housing for All” by 2022. The revised NUHHP will incorporate various policy sub-componentsasdifferentchapterstoreflectthecurrent direction of the Government of India. These may include shelters, skill development, rental/social housing, affordable housing etc.

DRAFT NATIONAL URBAN RENTAL HOUSING POLICY:

Urban housing shortage in India, estimated to be 18.78 million during the 12th Plan period with consequent increases resulting in increase in urbanization in future years, is an area of concern. Historically housing policy/programmatic interventions have been oriented towards home ownership, nevertheless,

providing housing to all on ownership basis has proved challenging. Growing family needs had resulted in overcrowding and slum like situations due to lack of alternatives such as rental housing and absence of rental housing frameworks in the Country. Taking forward the recommendations of the Task Force on Rental Housing, and to address these challenges, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation has come up with the Draft National Urban Rental Housing Policy (NURHP), 2015 after detailed consultations with the states and other stakeholders. The vision of the Draft Policy is ‘to create a vibrant, sustainable and inclusive rental housing market in India’.

THE DRAFT NATIONAL RENTAL HOUSING POLICY IS AIMED AT PROMOTING RENTAL HOUSING AS AN OPTION FOR:

• Social Rental Housing for the socially and economically weaker (EWS/LIG) sections.

• Develop ecosystem for market based rental housing

• AffordableRentalHousing for specifictarget groups such as migrant labours, working women, students etc.

• Rental Housing as a stop gap towards aspirant home buyers.

• Institutional rental housing for working class

The policy will enable:

• Formalization of Rental Housing through regulatory and legal frameworks

• Enhancefundflowsalongwithincentivesfor rental housing

• Promote institutions/organisations for constructing, managing, maintenance and operations of rental housing stock –



RMCs, Residential REITs, and Employee Housing etc.

Based on inter-Ministerial consultations, a Note for Cabinet has been prepared and sent to the Cabinet Secretariat on 27.12.2016 for approval of the Union Cabinet.

TEMPLATE FOR PREPARATION OF STATE HOUSING POLICY FOR URBAN AREAS

As part of the National Housing and Habitat Policy 2007, States are required to prepare a State Housing and Habitat Policy. In this backdrop, Ministry had constituted an Affordable Housing Task Force (AHTF) in 2010 which submitted its report in FY 2012-13. In order to take forward the recommendations of the AHTF, this Ministry had organised a number of consultations at the National level and also engaged separately with the State/UT Governments, academic institutions, various associations, and the civil society, among others.

Based on the inputs received and in view of the various policy developments, it was decided that the housing sector needs to be addressed as a whole rather than focusing on specificpolicyprescriptionsfortheaffordablehousing segment. It was therefore decided that theMinistrywill focus onfinalizing a‘Template for Preparation of State Housing Policy for Urban Areas’ with a guidance note on various conceptual frameworks, including good practices available across the country. The scope of different policies undertaken by the Ministry was also examined.

A Guidance Note on the ‘Template for Preparation of State Housing Policy for Urban Areas’ was subsequently prepared and approved by the competent authority. This Template was released by Hon’ble Minister of State (HUPA) on 24th June, 2016.

DEENDAYAL ANTYODAYA YOJANA - NATIONAL URBAN LIVELIHOODS MISSION (DAY - NULM)

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation had been implementing a Centrally Sponsored Scheme Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) which had been restructured into National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM) since September, 2013.The Mission has now been extended to all statutory towns and renamed as Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (Day-NULM). It aims at organizing urban poor into Self-Help Groups, imparting skill training to urban poor for self and wage employment and helping them to set up self-employment ventures by providing credit at subsidized rate of interest. In addition, shelters for urban homeless and infrastructure for street vendors can also be taken up under this Mission.

DAY-NULM has seven components:

Social Mobilization and Institution Development (SM&ID):

This component of the NULM envisages mobilisation of urban poor households into thrift and credit-based Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their federations/collectives. NULM would lay particular emphasis on the mobilisation of vulnerable sections of the urban population such as SCs, STs, minorities, female-headed households, persons with



disabilities, the destitutes, migrant labourers, and especially vulnerable occupational groups such as street vendors, rag pickers, domestic workers, beggars, construction workers etc.

Capacity Building and Training (CB&T):

A multi-pronged approach is planned under NULM for continuous capacity building of SHGs and their federations/collectives, government functionaries at Central, State and City/Town levels, bankers, NGOs, CBOs and other stakeholders. Support is also provided for creation of National,State and City level Mission Management units to assist in implementation of programme for the poor.

Employment through Skill Training and Placement (EST&P):

NULM focuses on providing assistance for skill development/ upgrading of the skills of urban poor to enhance their capacity for self-employment or better salaried employment. The skills so acquired are to be duly assessed and certifiedbyathird-partyagency.TheTrainingPartners of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) or those engaged by any other government agency can be directly empaneled by the States. The State can enter into agreements with Government Institutes like ITIs, Polytechnic Colleges etc. or empanel private training providers through a selection process.

Self-employment Programme (SEP):

Thiscomponentfocusesonfinancialassistanceto individuals/groups of urban poor for setting up gainful self-employment ventures/ micro-enterprises, suited to their skills, training, aptitude and local conditions. Under the component, subsidized loans (interest subsidy above 7% rate of interest) are given for setting

up individual enterprises upto 2 lakhs of Project cost and for group enterprises uptoRs. 10 lakh.

Support to Urban Street Vendors:

This component covers development of vendors’ markets, credit enablement of vendors, socio-economic survey of street vendors, skill development and micro enterprises development and convergence with social assistance under various schemes of the Government.

Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH):

Under this component, the construction of permanent shelters for the urban homeless equipped with essential services will be supported.

Innovative & Special Projects (I&SP):

This component focuses on promotion of novel initiatives demonstrating strategies to create long term and sustainable livelihood opportunities through Public, Private and Community Partnership (PPCP) and may cover organisation of the urban poor, formulation and implementation of innovative skill development programme, provision of support infrastructure, technology, marketing, capacity building etc or a combination of these.

Central Fund Allocation under DAY-NULM :During the current financial yeari.e. 2016-17, the total allocation under DAY-NULM so far (upto 15.01.2017) is Rs. 300.00 crore out of which Rs. 253.19 crore has been released to the States/UTs. Total Central funds spent by the States/UTs during 2016-17 was Rs. 367.61 crore as on 15.01.2017. The expenditure reported by States/UTs is higher than the quantum of funds released to them



during the current financial year since thesame includes unspent balances of the previous years available with them.

Physical progress under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) : During the current financial year 46,999SelfHelpGroups have so far been formed out of which 38,305 SHGs have been given Revolving Fund. Further, 3,51,017 beneficiaries have been provided skill training of which 60,287 have been placed for wage/self employment. Total numberofbeneficiariesassistedforsettingupindividual / group micri-enterprises is 28,049.

PROJECTS SANCTIONED UNDER INNOVATIVE & SPECIAL PROJECTS

Three proposals under Innovative & Special Projects (I&SP) for promotion of livelihoods of vulnerable groups like women,differently-abled etc. have been sanctioned by the Ministry under DAY-NULM and are under implementation. These are as follows:-• ‘Avacayam’ project is to train 1,000

Monitoring of DAY-NULM Implementation

The Ministry has designed and developed a comprehensive IT-enabled online Management Information System (MIS) with a view to facilitate faster and effective implementation of the Mission. It would also help the Ministry in monitoring the progress of DAY-NULM.States and ULBs are required to submit their progress on DAY-NULM MIS and may also use this tool to monitor progress on the ground.

SCHEDULED CASTE SUB PLAN (SCSP) AND TRIBAL SUB PLAN (TSP)

Scheduled Castes Sub Plan (SCSP) for Scheduled Castes (SC) and the Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) for the Scheduled Tribes (ST) are intended to channelizeflowof resourcestowards development of SC and ST, at least in proportion to their numbers in the population,bothinphysicalandfinancialterms.Relevant guidelines regarding formulation, implementation and monitoring of SCSP/TSP have been issued from time to time by erstwhile Planning Commission.

Separate allocation for SCSP and TSP as part of the Plan allocation was made from 2011-12. Accordingly, funds under various schemes administered by MoHUPA from time to time viz., SJSRY, since restructured as NULM, BSUP & IHSDP under erstwhile JnNURM, RAY and RRY have been earmarked for SCSP and TSP. The SEP and EST&P components of NULM are predominantly beneficiary oriented. Schemes for slum rehabilitation in

• Financing urban development is a chal-lenge that most countries encounter in managing urbanization, and

• Addressing the challenges of urbaniza-tion and tapping urban opportunities lies at the core of the recent urban sector initiatives

In this context, Dr. Chatterjee outlined India’s efforts in promoting sustainable urban development and pointed out that inclusiveness is the cornerstone of all development initiatives in the housing and urban development sector in India. Adequate and affordable shelter is a priority area and towards facilitating the same, India has embarked on a major mission of `Housing for All’ by 2022 through a set of policy and action interventions in urban areas.Appropriatelyintegratedwithfinancial,technology and governance components, along with people centric emphasis, this special interventionisareflectionofreaffirmationofIndia’s commitment for ensuring affordable housing for all with a component of improved quality of life. Dr. Chatterjee also referred to other urban missions and initiatives that seek to channelize growth, leading to improved governance, quality infrastructure and accessibility.

Elaborating on the focus areas and strategies for India towards addressing the New Urban Agenda imperatives, Dr. Chatterjee spoke about the agenda which has been evolved in order to enable the transformation of India in its economic as well as social tenets. The basic components of the agenda would include, Firstly, economic growth and productivity, through fully planned and sustainable human settlements, with focus on improved mobility, well distributed employment avenues, intense use of technology and innovations, managed through e-governance and connected through a smart grid, facilitated by self regulated norms; Secondly, improving quality of life covering sanitation and providing public facilities with easy access; Thirdly, inclusive development, through promoting composite living representing socio-economic population, with adequate and affordable housing for the urban poor and senior citizens; Fourthly, sustainability and issues of climate change



focussing on improved public transport, eco-friendly transport modes including for local travels, facilitating barrier-free pedestrian movement, rainwater harvesting along streets and buildings, drainage systems, solid and liquid waste management including treatment and reuse,waste reduction options, efficientenergy use including reduction in usage, longer life integrated road systems, and disaster preparedness; Fifthly, urban safety, with safe buildings and streets promoting crime-free society and access to social justice and gender equity; and Sixthly, urban greens and open spaces, which would be green plantations and barrier-free buildings.

Dr. N Chatterjee, Leader of Indian delegation to Habitat-III further explained that India’s new urban agenda relies on few levers to make cities work towards greater productivity, inclusion, sustainability, and rural-urban linkages, which include: (i) Putting in place an integrated urban policy consistent with the principle of co-operative federalism that would be driven by consideration of efficiency, inclusion and sustainability, andwhich would work towards universality of

the urban agenda across different tiers of the government, (ii) Initiatives to Harmonize agglomeration economies through elimination ofbarrierstotheflowoffactorsofproduction,namely, capital, land and labour; promotion of compact and cluster urban development within a regional and rural-urban framework; boosting economic density and providing support to initiatives that favour synergies and innovations; and creating skilled human resources, (iii) Promoting complementarity of rural-urban continuum by harnessing their mutual strengths and advantages for integrated development, (iv) Promoting inclusive urban development with a mix of strategies that would consist of universalization of basic services including education and health; governing cities on principles of social cohesion and civic engagement; access to housing as a tool for alleviating poverty and as a growth escalator; putting in place a strategy for reducing `working poverty’, (v) Recognizing and actively promoting the centrality of sustainability in urban policy following a country-wide approach to urban development, addressing issues of emission levels, atmospheric pollution, pollution of water

and soil, and degradation of urban spaces. The new urban agenda focuses on cutting down of waste, savings in energy consumption particularly in buildings and protection of green spaces. These are not merely technical problems and are proposed to be addressed with education, citizens’ participation, and campaigns for environmental protection, (vi) Empowering municipalities and other local level institutions to manage and maintain infrastructure services, implement the right process to increase productivity and deal with exclusion and build capabilities in public services, (vii)Strengtheninghousingfinancesystems, so as to enable and to improve access toaffordablefinancetoall,inclearrecognitionand understanding of the role of housing as an instrument of household level well being and as an economy booster, (viii) Enhancing access to social justice and gender equity, so that no section of society is left untouched in the economic development process, and (ix) Development of a robust urban information system, so that decisions are based on well informed and promote transparency and accountability and also focus on desired target groups.

The Leader of the Delegation to Habitat-III concluded her statement by declaring that India explicitly recognizes the role and importance of urbanization and cities in the process of its socio-economic transformation,

ATTACHED OFFICE

Introduction

The National Buildings Organization (NBO), an attachedofficeoftheMinistryofHousingandUrban Poverty Alleviation, has been making consistent efforts for collection, tabulation and dissemination of statistical information on housing and building construction activities in the country. Housing and slum statistics do not form part of the extant system of administrative statistics. The decennial population Census enumerates stock of houses and slum population but does not provide information regarding current housing and buildings construction activity and current slum population. Sample surveys by NSSO yield estimates regarding housing condition of households. With a view to ensuring that the schemes of the Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation are supported with relevant database, MIS and knowledge inputs, the activities of NBO have been appropriately restructured from time to time.

The mandate of the NBO in its restructured form is as follows: -

To collect, collate, validate, analyse, disseminate and publish the housing and building construction statistics.

To organize training programmes for the officersandstaffoftheStateGovernmentengaged in collection and dissemination of housing and building construction statistics.

To create and manage a documentation centre relating to urban housing, poverty, slums and infrastructure related statistics.

To coordinate with all the State Governments/Research Institutions etc.asbeinganodalagencyinthefieldto cater to the statistical needs of the planners, policy makers and research organizationinthefieldofhousingandrelated infrastructural facilities.

To conduct regular short term sample surveys in various pockets of the country to study the impact of the plan schemes.

To undertake special socio-economic studies evaluating the impact of the plans, policies and programmes in the field of housing and infrastructure, asand when required, by the Ministry for which the additional funds will be provided by the Ministry.
